I just purchased a Cocktail Audio X12 and I am experiencing some problems.I have a setup without an internal HD. The Database is located on my NAS. So are most of my musicfiles. I created some playlists and when I use mp3 format the pl loads very fast. Good!BUT when using playlists with flacs it takes 3-4- minutes to load the pl! Very frustrating...

FYI: I am talking about playlists located on the NAS, not internal playlistsEven a small pl with a few flacs takes minutes... I was thinking the X12 'hangs' but at the end the music is there...

I tried the obvious things like resetting to factory-defaults.

Update: I even need to load a mp3-playlist first before trying to load a playlist with flacs...If I don't do that the X12 indeed 'hangs'. And I need to switch the power off to stop and restart the unit.I just waited for 15 minutes 'loading...' and I killed the process...==> So I restarted, loaded a mp3-pl. ==> After this I loaded a flac pl in 3 minutesVery weird and nasty problem...

You mean the songs are on the NAS & the links on the NAS too but access via the X12 right?Would have thought is the network bandwidth or a broken links.Why not create the links on the X12, i think the unstable software X12 could be the issue!

Looks like a bandwidth matter, having said that the X12 is too buggy just like the x40 (tested it). Same software with different boxes!That was why i returned it for the Pro X100, the whole DB business is totally awful on the X40.

Thanks for your replies!.Indeed songs (FLACS) on the NAS and links (playlist) on the NAS too. Since I do not have a HD installed I can't put the playlist on the X10... or am I missing something here?So I have tested the same scenario with the DB on a external Harddisk.I mean: Songs and playlist on the external HD.==> Exact same issue. Works very slow with flacs and very fast with MP3.Bandwith is OK. Wired connection. I am sure that bandwith is not the problem here.Different format is not possible I guess... I have all my music in FLAC and would like to keep it that way.

I did read about the Pro X100. I am afraid that machine is not for sale (yet?) in Holland. Any other thoughts or would someone here be so kind to test the same issue?

Try a playlist format not files (different format).I would suggest putting the links on a USB stick whilst the songs are on the server/NAS.Can you create a single playlist with multiple files (perhaps that might help)?Create one & import it, not sure if the x12 supports that!x12 - not very stable
